The Year in Review

February
– Tried speed dating for the first time. No dice.
– Came down with a bizarre cold. Lost my voice for a week.
– Tried rock climbing for the first time. Really enjoyed it.

March
– Got diagnosed with Hallux Rigidus. I was sad and depressed since I was really getting into dancing. Thankfully no flare ups since then, and I have still been dancing regularly.
– I went to the healing rooms to get prayer over my foot. Came back to what was sort of a miracle. On the day that my friend’s visa was to expire, he got a job offer.
– Went to Arizona for a work conference, which also coincided with a tango festival. I attended my first festival. I enjoyed it, but it was definitely a quiet and small event.

April
– Had my second private tango lesson (my first “real” lesson).

May
– Went to Zion/Bryce Canyon with Sundeep, Charles and Vicky

June
– Attended a transcendental meditation info session. Attempted to join the campus group to meditate together on a regular basis, but it fizzled out due to time/schedules not working out.

July
– Volunteered at BOW Classic again.

August
– Tried contra dancing for the first time. It was so much fun!

September
– Went to a training session in Chicago, met a guy (D.B) who plays in a band. Unexpectedly, we had dinner and he joined me for tango. He didn’t dance but hung out with me. He sat in the studio while I danced, even ‘tho he could have left at any moment. It was really nice of him to do that. It’s been a long time since I just had a really nice date.
– Got news that my Grandma was getting weaker. In good health, but age was generally catching up to her

October
– Tried to see All-4-One with Shirley. Epic fail.

November
– Attended SFTM and helped volunteer as a babysitter. Had a great tanda with a guy from Caltech area.
– My grandma passed away. I flew home for the first time in many years. It was strange to be home and not where I wanted to be.

December
– Went to see a psychic medium for the first time. Interesting, to say the least, but after listening to the recording of the session again, I think she’s a crock. LOL. C’est la vie.
